ABSTRACT:
A female terminal metal fixture (2) in which an elastic tongue is prevented from being extremely deflected. A portion between a turned-back portion (25b) and a top portion (25a) on an elastic tongue (25) is strengthened by a reinforcing portion (26). When a tab (4) is improperly inserted into the fixture (2), the top portion (25a) and turned-back portion (25b) on the elastic tongue (25) are supported on stoppers (27) and an auxiliary stopper (29), respectively. Thus, even if the tab pushes down strongly a portion between the turned-back portion (25b) and the top portion (25a), the elastic tongue is not deflected over an elastic limit.
